Abstract: The present invention (with reference to Figure 2)
provides an apparatus (1) for first separating and later
mixing a plurality of materials stored in a cylindrical
container (2). The apparatus of the present invention
serves as an effective barrier during storage of the
materials. It also serves an apparatus for thoroughly
mixing the materials when they are ready to be used. 
     The apparatus of the present invention consists of:
a mixing member (3) formed with one or more mixing
spokes (4, 5, 6 7) for stirring the materials; a sealing
member (8j that releasably attaches to the mixing member
(3) and together with the mixing member (3) forms a
barrier when the two are joined, but separated from the
mixing member (3) allows for the combining of the
materials within the container (2); and a mixing rod
(9) that attaches to the mixing member (3) and is long
enough to protrude from the container (2) to allow the
user to manipulate the mixing member (3). The apparatus
of the present invention is formed so it is difficult
for the mixing member (3) and the sealing member (8) to
reattach once they have separated.

Abstract: An image sensor sub-assembly for a scanner or other image acquisition device
includes an image sensor array (134) that detects light imaged by a scanner optical
system and an image sensor module (130) that enables calibration of the position of
the image sensor array (134) relative to the optical system. In this way, with the
optical system being constructed within tolerances, the module (130) enables
alignment of the image sensor array (134) to the optical system by its adjustment.
Preferably, the sensor module (130) is calibrated to defined standards, making the
optical system's calibration independent of the specific module and the module's
calibration independent of the specific optical system used in a given scanner.
Preferably, the module (130) enables positioning of the sensor array (134) with six
degrees of freedom. Further, the electronic circuit board, on which the sensor array
(134) is integrated, is separate from the board, on which the analog to digital
converters are located. This has the advantage of enabling replacement of the analog
to digital converters, a primary source of improper operation in the scanner's
electronic components, without requiring the replacement of the optical sensor array,
and thus re-alignment.
